📢 DIVERSITY & INCLUSION | When diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work was thrust into the national spotlight, it was on the heels of universally condemned, horrific tragedies: the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. 🌿 DEI efforts, which have existed for decades in higher education and the corporate sector, quickly became one of the ways we as a society sought to fix the wrongs of racial injustice. – © Fortune Magazine | https://lnkd.in/gxMVTkt4 #diversityandinclusion #antiracist #anticorruption #antisemitism #equityandinclusion #antiracism #corporateculture #nextnormal #newnormal #neweconomics #newbeginnings #emotionalintelligence #culturalintelligence #culturaldiversity #culturaltransformation #civilsociety #culturalcreatives #removingboundaries #community #newsocieties #albertabusiness #canadaimmigration #canadabusiness #edmontonbusiness #socialchange #calgarybusiness #socialgood #socialenterprise #socialimpact #love #healthyinstitutions #healthycountries #healthysocieties #wellnessmatters

Today, I felt compelled to share a message that's been weighing heavily on my mind. As I scrolled through my LinkedIn, and common group feeds, I couldn't help but notice the lack of allyship and advocacy for marginalized communities. It's time we change that narrative. Why You Should Be an Ally - Being an Ally is not just a badge of honor, it's a lifelong commitment to championing equity and inclusion. When we stand up and use our privilege to amplify underrepresented voices, we create a powerful ripple effect that can transform entire communities. How your contribution can be impactful - Your contribution as an Ally can be truly game-changing. Whether it's lobbying for policies that promote diversity, mentoring those from marginalized backgrounds, or simply educating yourself and others, every action you take can inspire lasting change. Allyship is not a one-time act, but a journey of continuous learning, empathy, and solidarity. Join us in this movement and become a beacon of hope for those who have faced systemic barriers and discrimination. Together, we can break down biases, challenge the status quo, and build a future where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive. #Allyship #DiversityAndInclusion #EquityInTheWorkplace #SocialImpact #LinkedInCommunity #LinkedInInfluencer

This week's member insight focuses on Achieving Inclusive Social Justice. Read below to explore the thoughts of one of our members and join in the discussion below. How do we work towards inclusive social justice? Member Insights: Overcoming barriers and unleashing opportunities for social justice is an ongoing and critical endeavor that requires collective commitment and proactive efforts. In the pursuit of a just society, it is imperative to identify and dismantle the various barriers that perpetuate inequality and discrimination. These barriers may include systemic racism, economic disparities, gender biases, and other forms of social injustice. By addressing these issues head-on, we pave the way for inclusivity, equality, and fairness. Education and awareness play pivotal roles in this transformative process, empowering individuals to challenge stereotypes, foster empathy, and cultivate a deep understanding of diverse perspectives. Encouraging open dialogue and fostering spaces for marginalized voices to be heard are crucial steps in dismantling the walls that divide us. Moreover, advocating for policy changes and institutional reforms ensures that the structures supporting inequality are reimagined and rebuilt. Unleashing opportunities for social justice involves creating environments where every individual, regardless of their background, has equal access to resources, opportunities, and representation. This may involve implementing affirmative action, promoting diverse leadership, and dismantling discriminatory practices in the workplace and beyond. It is through collective action, empathy, and a commitment to justice that we can overcome barriers, break the chains of injustice, and build a society where everyone can thrive, contribute, and live with dignity. Ultimately, the journey toward social justice is ongoing, requiring a sustained commitment from individuals, communities, and institutions to foster a world characterized by equity, compassion, and the celebration of diversity.

🌍 Promoting Human Rights And a Shared Responsibility✊🌍 Human rights are the foundation of our shared humanity, embodying the principles of dignity, equality, and respect for all individuals. As we navigate an increasingly interconnected world, it is crucial for each of us to recognize our role in promoting and protecting these rights. Every day, countless individuals face discrimination, injustice, and violence simply because of who they are. This is not just a distant issue; it affects our communities, our workplaces, and ultimately, our societies. By advocating for human rights, we stand up for those whose voices have been silenced, and we affirm our commitment to a world where everyone can live free from fear and oppression. Let’s work together to raise awareness, foster inclusivity, and champion the fundamental rights of all people, regardless of their background. Whether it's through education, volunteer work, or simply speaking out against injustice, we can all make a difference. #HumanRights #Equality #Inclusion #Justice #Advocacy
